This Week’s Top Story

The Serena & Lily Chicago Design Shop (853 W. Armitage Ave., serenaandlily.com) opens in Lincoln Park on June 8, marking the home décor brand’s first outpost in the Midwest.

The 4,000-square foot shop will have a coastal vibe inspired by Serena & Lily’s California roots. In a front sunroom, the outdoor collection will be on display. Other highlights include a swatch wall filled with some 300 textile designs; the store also houses wallpaper, lighting, bedding, rugs, and more.

If all the options overwhelm you, fear not. On-site “design advisers” will be on hand to help you wade through upholstery and sofas; in-home design consultations are also available.
